About this opportunity
The Army Contracting Command (ACC) has awarded contract W519TC-25-D-A044 for replacement of end-of-life Layer 3 network switches and routers on a sole-source basis to Cisco under a brand-name exception, effective September 28, 2026.
The justification, filed under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR Part 6 exception authority RFO 16.507-7(b), rests on technical compatibility. Market research conducted through CHESS confirmed that only Cisco Catalyst 9600 series equipment meets the government's requirements for interoperability with ancillary systems including TACACS servers, Security Exchange Protocols Servers, and Comply to Connect appliances. The Army Pacific network operates on established Cisco-based architectures with IPv6 routing, automation, and security implementations; introducing non-Cisco platforms would create significant interoperability issues and require extensive network redesign.
The action was posted on CHESS for competition among small businesses under a 100 percent small-business set-aside. The contracting officer certified the anticipated cost as fair and reasonable and the supporting documentation as accurate and complete. Place of performance is Wheeler Army Airfield. Funding is provided through Army Operations and Maintenance appropriations. The contract was executed by the 413th Contracting Support Brigade.
